Optical investigation on combustion and soot formation characteristics of isopropanol‐butanol‐ethanol (IBE)/diesel blends
Abstract Isopropanol‐butanol‐ethanol (IBE) is considered to be a promising alternative fuel for diesel to reduce soot emissions. However, currently researchers have not yet revealed its soot formation processes. In this regard, the forward illumination light extinction (FILE) technology was used to...

Abstract Isopropanol‐butanol‐ethanol (IBE) is considered to be a promising alternative fuel for diesel to reduce soot emissions.
